        ^^^^

Actually, brown sugar gets hard when it *looses* moisture.  But then,
anything which keeps away moisture will also keep it in.  (Don't put a
package of Silica Gel in your brown sugar. :-)

Storing brown sugar in the freezer, or in a hermetically sealed container,
will let it keep longer because the moisture evaporates slower.
